Are you, Still Evangelical?

Evangelicalism in America has cracked, split on the shoals of
the 2016 presidential election and its aftermath, leaving many wondering
if they want to be in or out of the evangelical tribe. The
contentiousness brought to the fore surrounds what it means to affirm
and demonstrate evangelical Christian faith amidst the messy and
polarized realities gripping our country and world. Who or what is
defining the evangelical social and political vision? Is it the gospel
or is it culture? For a movement that has been about the primacy of
Christian faith, this is a crisis. This collection of essays was
gathered by Mark Labberton, president of Fuller Theological Seminary,
who provides an introduction to the volume. What follows is a diverse
and provocative set of perspectives and reflections from evangelical
insiders who wrestle with their responses to the question of what it
means to be evangelical in light of their convictions. Contributors
include:

Shane Claiborne, Red Letter Christians

Jim Daly, Focus on the Family

Mark Galli, Christianity Today

Lisa Sharon Harper, FreedomRoad.us

Tom Lin, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship

Karen Swallow Prior, Liberty University

Soong-Chan Rah, North Park University

Robert Chao Romero, UCLA

Sandra Maria Van Opstal, Grace and Peace Community

Allen Yeh, Biola University

Mark Young, Denver Seminary

Referring to oneself as evangelical cannot be merely a congratulatory
self-description. It must instead be a commitment and aspiration guided
by the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. What now are Christ's followers
called to do in response to this identity crisis?

CHRISTIANS IN RECOVERY

The International Christian Recovery Coalition is launching a new worldwide movement to establish Christian Recovery Resource Centers beginning January 1, 2011. These centers will provide access for Christians in recovery and those who want God’s help in overcoming alcoholism, drug addiction, at-risk behavior, and life-controlling problems. Full details on how to join and participate can be found on www.ChristianRecoveryCoalition.com.

We are especially hoping to see one or more centers established in the San Diego area.

After all, Brethren, the whole end of Theology is love. It seems hard to realize that that is so, but so it is. If your theology does not make you more loving, it has not Christianized you and to that extent is not a Christian theology... All ecclesiasticism and all doctrinalizing are in order to form character, and the soul of character is love. Preach the truth in love, and for the development of love.... Nathaniel J. Burton (1822-1887)
